DLR Premiere: Yazmin - Balance [SOLID027]

Born from the wild spirit of 90s underground rave culture and inspired by legendary nights like Megadog, Dream Hack channels a rich history of electronic eclecticism into something fresh and forward-facing. "Lujuria" is a standout cut from Platinum Paradise, the second EP from the project—fusing machine-driven grooves, hypnotic synths, and rolling basslines with a mischievous nod to the past. It’s rave nostalgia filtered through a future-facing lens—familiar, yet thrillingly different.

PREMIERE: Dream Hack - Lujuria [ Surface Reality ]

For episode 65, we present Flora, a Stockholm-based DJ with Greek roots, known for her hardgroove and hypnotic techno sound that creates a groovy, sexy, and sweaty energy on the dancefloor. Having stepped behind the decks in 2023, she quickly made a name for herself with her unique blend of deep, rhythmic beats and captivating atmospheres.

Flora’s sets are a journey, intertwining driving basslines with hypnotic melodies. With a natural ability to read the crowd and build momentum, she brings a dynamic presence to every performance, crafting an atmosphere that keeps the dancefloor alive and the crowd fully engaged.

Interview with Flora: 

Q: What made you start DJing?
A:  A: I’ve always loved electronic music. My dad used to mix with vinyls at home, mostly house, so I basically grew up surrounded by electronic music. He was a big inspiration for me. As I got older, I started going to raves and getting more involved in the scene. That’s when I realized I didn’t just want to be on the dance floor, I wanted to be behind the decks, creating and sharing that energy myself.

Q: Describe your style in three words?
A: Bouncy, sweaty and sexy 

Q: Your best set in 2024/2025?
A:  My best set was when I played at Brutal on the 23rd of November, 2024. Everything just clicked.

Q: Your favourite track right now?
A: PLE_STICK - Maginification

Q: A track you never get tired of?
A:  Danny Wabbit - Girl Scout Cookies 

Q: A hidden gem in Stockholm you’d like to share
A: I’m not sure how ”hidden” this gem is but Spektrum.ug

Q: Stockholm DJ you want to highlight
A:  I’d like to give a shoutout to two artists: first of all, Valrik  and Heigo. Both of them have an incredible presence and confidence when they play, and it’s honestly super inspiring to watch them perform.

Malmö Techno Tales Episode 65 - Flora

Alliance Of Music 045 | BATMAN (UK - LONDON)

Fixture in the underground music scene, Batman’s journey as a DJ and promoter began at the age of 16, when he first got behind the turntables. Drawn to the raw, hypnotic energy of Acid Techno, he quickly immersed himself in the world of fully-loaded 303 sounds. His early performances at CROSSED in Szczecin marked the start of a career that would take him to some of Europe’s most iconic venues, including the legendary 414 in Brixton (London) and Union in Vauxhall. His roots also stretch to the underground rave scene of London, where he played some of the greatest free parties.

As the years passed, Batman’s sound evolved from the fierce intensity of Acid Techno to a more groove-driven, hypnotic approach—one that resonates deeply with those who seek immersive, mind-altering rhythms. Over his two-decade-long career, he has shared the decks with some of the most respected names in the scene, including Sterling Moss, Aaron Liberator, Patrick DSP, Bad Boy Pete, Jethro ThermoBee, Billy Nasty, Jeff Amadeus, Tassid, Marcello Perri, and James Kinetec, among many others.

In recent years, Batman has focused his energy on a new project—a podcast dedicated to uncovering the hidden gems of the underground music world. With this new venture, he shines a spotlight on the artists and stories that have remained in the shadows, revealing the forgotten, yet influential sounds that define the true essence of underground culture.

With over two decades of experience, Batman continues to be a vital force in the underground music scene—both as a DJ who moves minds and bodies and as a curator of the raw, unfiltered music that has always been the beating heart of rave culture.

Alliance Of Music 045 | BATMAN

DKTech returns to the frontlines with his latest offering, Nine Seals of Namtar. A relentless, myth-infused journey into the heart of sonic darkness featuring seismic low-ends, razor-sharp percussions and an unflinching tempo.

Drawing inspiration from ancient Mesopotamian lore, Nine Seals of Namtar evokes the chaos and inevitability of fate, a fitting theme for a release that doesn't let up. Each track is a ritualistic stampede through distorted reality, summoning raw emotion through punishing grooves and relentless rhythm.

The release also features a collaboration with labelhead and techno architect MarAxe, in a track that fuses their styles into a single, devastating weapon of sound.

The seals are broken. Namtar walks. Enjoy!
